A classic of Bosnian cuisine, quite popular among those who enjoy thick and hearty stews. It has a delicate and rich flavor, suitable for all seasons, especially for winter days when this rich, creamy, thick stew warms the soul and body. One of the ingredients of Begova Chorba is okra, which is hard to find here, so this recipe is written in such a way that if you dont have it or dont want to use it, you can omit it.

Light, soft, and wonderfully aromatic - thats the true Bela Krajina flatbread, always served warm and never cut, but rather broken or torn along the diagonally scored lines.

1. Blow out the egg with a straw by making holes on both sides of the egg and blowing the contents into a bowl (or remove the contents with a needle). Wash the shell thoroughly but carefully – leave it under running water for a longer time. We will first draw on the bare eggshell with wax. Fill the tube with heated wax and quickly move the tube to the egg to create any shapes, geometric patterns, or plants.

The cheese-filled pastry resembles pita burek, which is not surprising since the recipe was brought to our region by the Balkans. But what happens when the recipe is adapted by the people of Bela Krajina?

Waffles are an excellent choice for those days when we want to indulge ourselves in the morning. In terms of taste and ingredients, they are similar to thicker pancakes, but their characteristic feature is the textured surface, which is made using a special waffle iron. For their preparation, we can use a slightly thicker pancake batter, and in some places, they are also made from a better leavened dough. However, we will get especially good waffles, light and fluffy, if we beat egg whites into stiff peaks, dissolve butter in warm milk, and add baking powder to the flour. Serve the baked waffles with various jams or fruit sauces, or they are also excellent when served with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit.

We prepare them when we have leftover egg whites from baking, and the little sweet-tooths will gladly help us decorate them.
